Everyone deserves to build a life that reflects what matters most to them. That belief is at the heart of how we live, how we show up for our community, and how we help people navigate some of the biggest decisions of their lives.

Life is full of changing seasons, and understanding those shifts is part of what makes it possible for me to support others well. My community and my family personally have gone through plenty of those changing tides in the past few years.

Southwest Florida has gone through a very difficult time, but it has also revealed the best in the people who live here. After Hurricane Ian, and just two years later, Helene and Milton, the damage across our region was devastating. But what stood out most was the way people showed up for each other. The storms may have wiped a lot away, but they didn’t take the soul of this community.

That’s the version of Southwest Florida I’m proud to be part of. When homes flooded, my husband jumped into clean-up efforts, spending weeks pulling out drywall and soaked carpet. I worked with our church to create a housing database, connecting displaced families to seasonal homes that were sitting empty. Everyone pulled together to help neighbors get back on their feet.

Now, this area is entering a new chapter. Communities are being redeveloped, and families—ours included—are reassessing what fits their lives. For the past few years, living in the country has been a dream. With three boys—Elijah, Finn, and Silas—they’ve had space to explore, be loud, and just be kids. But now, as they grow into their preteen years, we’re planning a move into a more suburban area where they can ride bikes with neighborhood friends and enjoy a new kind of freedom.

We’ve been especially drawn to Babcock Ranch, a solar-powered, hurricane-resilient town where schools, parks, and trails are built into everyday life. As old communities rebuild and new ones develop, it feels like a step forward for the region. But there are also serious challenges, like the rising cost of insurance. It’s a reality our family and many others face. From the evolving needs of growing families to the importance of staying within budget, I bring personal experience into every transaction. This isn’t just about buying or selling a home—it’s about building a life, and I take that responsibility to heart. My goal is always to make sure you and your family have what you need to make smart, informed, and confident decisions.

That kind of intentional decision-making isn’t just something we guide others through—it’s central to how we live. Earlier this year, our son Elijah fell 45 feet out of a tree. He turned 13 in the ICU. He spent five days in the hospital, but thankfully was able to walk out on his own. What stood out most was how he advocated for himself. He asked questions, checked medications, and made sure he understood what was happening. That confidence came from what we’ve modeled at home: thinking critically, asking questions, and living with purpose.

We homeschool, take a mindful approach to health, and shape our lifestyle around what works best for our family. Part of that includes exploring different parts of the world. In 2023, we did a Christian experience trip through Israel and Jordan, and later that year, a 23-day trip to explore Alaska. In 2024, we traveled to Iceland and Norway, and in the past two years have gone to Minnesota to enjoy summer lake life with extended family. We’ve made so many core memories and have enjoyed the cooler summer weather on our trips.

We also enjoy baseball with season tickets to Red Sox spring training and stay very involved in our church. As a Master Gardener, I teach composting and sustainability programs throughout the county. I enjoy helping kids and families become more conscious of where their food comes from.

Helping people find alignment between their everyday life and what matters most to them is what drives my passion for real estate. No matter how Southwest Florida continues to change, I remain committed to serving the people who make it home.

No matter how our community continues to change, we’re here to support it—and to support you! From market shifts to evolving personal needs, I truly pride myself on taking my own experiences and using them to better serve you with empathy, care, and a deep commitment to representing your best interests.

Our team has continued to grow, allowing us to expand our reach while staying personal and high-touch.

Every team member is fully supported by me and aligned with my standards, so you have the same level of service, responsiveness, and follow-through no matter who on the team you work with. I remain involved throughout each transaction to make sure nothing gets missed and every client is fully cared for. With over 15 years in the industry, I’ve also built trusted relationships with lenders, title professionals, and other partners to ensure every step of the process is handled with care and experience. I’m proud to be building a business that’s not only reliable but rooted in advocacy, honesty, and doing what’s right for the people we serve.
